| This
film focuses on Dev Singh, a police officer who believes in carrying
out his duties with honesty and integrity.
His
close friend and associate, Tejinder Khosla (Om Puri) has recently
transferred to the Mumbai police branch.
Whenever
riots break out in the city, he always asks for Dev's help.
Even
though their friendship goes back 30 years, Tehinder becomes the
victim of circumstances which forces him to challenge Dev.
The
third character in this high tension drama is Farhan Ali (Fardeen
Khan), a young lawyer and follower of Gandhi's principles.
But
when his father is an innocent bystander killed by the police during
a shootout with criminals, he decides to take revenge.
Farhan now targets his revenge at Dev. He seeks the help of Latif,
a terrorist who trains him to become a killer.
But
soon the tables turn on him. The only person who can help him out
of this mess is Dev, the man he is about to kill.
In
the midst of all this is Aaliya (Kareena Kapoor), Farhan's love
interest. She gets dragged into the world of violence.
Director
Govind Nihalani has done an excellent job. Even though the film
is grim, it does have some touching moments which will remain in
your mind.
Technically
the film is well packaged whether it's the cinematography or editing.
This
film belongs to Amitabh Bachchan whose performance is always cut
above the rest.
But
then again, Om Puri matches him every step of the way. He is never
overshadowed by Mr Bachchan.
Young
Fardeen finally gets recognised for his talents in Dev. The
director has managed to extract the best from this lad.
Dev
might be a grim film but it's worth watching.
